Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis): Causes, Symptoms & Treatment

 Frozen shoulder, also called adhesive capsulitis, is a painful condition where the shoulder joint becomes stiff, limiting daily movements such as lifting the arm or reaching overhead. It often affects people between 40–60 years of age and is more common in women. Certain health conditions like diabetes and thyroid disorders can increase the risk.

This condition usually develops in three stages:

  • Freezing Stage (painful) – Gradual increase in pain and reduced movement.

  • Frozen Stage (stiffness) – Pain may lessen, but stiffness makes normal activities difficult.

  • Thawing Stage (recovery) – Movement slowly improves, though recovery may take months.
